This Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria is a fun and fruity drink perfect for warm days! It features sweet peaches, crisp rosé wine, and sparkling water for a bubbly twist.
Whenever I serve this, everyone loves it—not just for sipping, but for the pretty peach slices floating in the glass! Plus, it’s super easy to make. Cheers! 🥂
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Dry Rosé Wine: This is the star of the sangria! A dry rosé brings a beautiful color and flavor. If you can’t find dry rosé, you can substitute with white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, but be mindful of the sweetness.
Peach: Fresh, ripe peaches work best for this recipe. If peaches aren’t in season, feel free to use frozen peach slices or canned peaches (drained!). I find that ripe peaches add the best flavor and sweetness.
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries are lovely in this drink, but if they’re not available, use strawberries or blackberries instead. They will create a similar fruity vibe, just make sure they’re sweet!
Peach Schnapps: If you want a lighter version or if the schnapps is unavailable, consider using peach-flavored sparkling water for that fruity kick, or even leave it out and stick to the wine and fruits.
Honey or Simple Syrup: This is optional and depends on your sweetness preference. Agave syrup or maple syrup can also work if you’re looking for alternatives.
How Can I Achieve the Best Flavor in My Sangria?
One essential step in making delicious sangria is letting the flavors meld together. Don’t skip the refrigerating step—it’s crucial!
- After mixing your ingredients, cover the pitcher and chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. If time allows, let it sit longer or even overnight!
- This resting time allows the fruits to infuse their flavors into the wine, making each sip more refreshing.
- Just before serving, add the sparkling water to maintain its fizz. If added too early, it can go flat, which is not what you want!
These key steps will ensure your sangria tastes vibrant and refreshing, perfect for sharing on a sunny day with friends or family. Enjoy your drink! 🍑🍷

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful peach rosé sangria takes about 15 minutes to prepare and requires at least 1-2 hours in the fridge to chill and let the flavors meld together. The longer it sits, the more delicious it becomes, so if you have time, let it chill even longer!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Base:
In a large pitcher, pour in your chilled dry rosé wine and add the peach schnapps. This will give your sangria a lovely fruity kick! Give it a gentle stir to combine the two liquids.
2. Add the Fruits:
Next, slice the ripe peach and add the slices to the pitcher along with the fresh raspberries. These fruits will infuse their sweetness and flavors into the wine, making each sip refreshing!
3. Sweeten It Up (Optional):
If you enjoy a sweeter sangria, drizzle in the honey or simple syrup. Mix gently to combine everything without breaking up the fruit too much. Taste it and adjust the sweetness as needed!
4. Chill Out:
Cover the pitcher and place it in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. This chilling time is vital for the flavors to come together beautifully. If you can wait a little longer, it will be oh-so-delicious!
5. Add Fizz Just Before Serving:
When you’re ready to serve, take the pitcher out of the fridge and add the chilled sparkling water or club soda. This’ll give your sangria a nice bubbly finish!

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice, making sure to include some peach slices and raspberries in each glass. It’ll look so pretty!

FAQ for Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria
Can I Use Different Fruits in This Sangria?
Absolutely! While peaches and raspberries are fantastic together, feel free to swap them for other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or even citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. Just keep the balance in sweetness to ensure a delicious flavor!
Can I Make This Sangria Alcohol-Free?
Yes! Simply replace the rosé wine and peach schnapps with a non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice or a peach-flavored soda. This keeps the fruity essence intact while making it a family-friendly beverage!
How Long Can I Store Leftover Sangria?
Leftover sangria can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, the freshness of the fruit may diminish over time, and the drink may lose some fizz. If it’s been sitting, you might want to add a splash of sparkling water before serving again!
What’s the Best Way to Serve This Sangria?
For the best experience, serve the sangria in clear glasses to showcase those beautiful peach slices and raspberries. It’s also delightful chilled – so don’t forget the ice cubes! You can even rim the glasses with sugar for a fun sweet touch.
